Jesus said "Only God can forgive sin. I can forgive sin!" [Spirituality & Religion]

He said is it easier to say your sin is forgiven or heal the crippled, and raise the dead? Then He healed the crippled and raised a man who had been rotting 4 days and smelled. 500 saw his body raised from the dead and were tortured for witnessing. Who was He? If you say he was a Prophet then Jesus was a liar, because he said he was God? No good prophet is a liar, right.
1. Liar?
2. Lunatic?
3. God?

He was God's son, as written in the Bible. Can't believe how you forgot putting that in the list.

@MartinTheFirst God's Son is Jehovah! John 1

@Carazaa No.. that's a logical fallacy and that's not at all what's written in the scripture. John 1 says that the word was a god. Not The God.

@MartinTheFirst No it does not say that. In the beginning was the word and the word was God. John 1:1

Through Him was all things made that was made and without him was not anything made that was made. John 1:3

The word became flesh and dwelt among us. John 1:14

I posted yesterday exactly what it says in the Hebrew Bible translated to English. The whole purpose of this pose is to prove that Jesus proclaimed to be God in the flesh. He said. [b]"Only God can forgive sin." "I can forgive sin!" [/b]

He proved it by raising people from the dead! The Father Son and the Holy Spirit is ONE read it carefully!

@Carazaa John 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god.

Your translation adjusted this sentence to fit your other beliefs, like you do with many other areas of the Bible. Such as writing "Lord" instead where it says Jesus or Jehovah, making it even more confusing.

@MartinTheFirst The word is not a god (that is added in your book)and it doesn't fit with the [b]rest[/b] of the Bible. Even if your books (Mormon, or Jehovahs witness or Catholic books) which were [b]not[/b] the Bible, says that, it doesn't go with what Jesus said. It just doesn't change the meaning of Jesus words that he proclaimed that ONLY God can forgive sin, [b]"I can forgive SIN" Does it![/b] And He did the miracles to prove only He can forgive sin. He is the slaughtered passover lamb. When Jehovah was mad at the Jews and he said Can anyone come to the rescue in heaven? There was silence in heaven, No one in heaven, no angel, no one could help so Jehovah said "My own arm reached down" Jehovah came down and became flesh and saved us from our sins! He is so amazing! He loves us so much!

@Carazaa You need to start quoting some verses or there's not much I can reply with.

@MartinTheFirst [b]Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 24 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” 25 Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God. 26 Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.” Luke 5:23 [/b]Jesus was proving that he could forgive sins which is our biggest need, not to walk!

@Carazaa [quote]And He did the miracles to prove only He can forgive sin.[/quote]
No he did that to prove that he has the ability to forgive sin, through showing that something that seems more difficult to humans is easy for him to do. Not that only [i]he[/i] can do it:

@MartinTheFirst Jesus is God! It is He who will judge the world when he comes again. The first time he came as a lamb the second he will come as a lion. God himself stepped down to save the world. And he is coming again to judge the living and the dead!
